What is the best solution to track conversions on local plumbing site (non-mobile)?
-
What is the best solution to track conversions on our local plumbing site? 95% of leads coming from phone calls, the rest – from the contact form we have on every page.
Is there a reliable solutions to track conversion rate for non-mobile local site?
As a side note, we have 6 different phone numbers on our site that users can call in order to reach us.

Hi Dinok - just saw this response or I would have responded sooner.
Check out a solution like callrail.com, mongoosemetrics.com, or callfire.com.
Basically they will adjust the phone number displayed based upon how the user found your website (eg direct visit or organic search by keyword or ppc visit by keyword). They typically can tie into goals in Analytics.
This is the best solution for businesses that rarely get contact form submissions.

@ Beardo:
We have separate landing pages for separate towns that we cover in different counties.
Depending on what county it is, we use a specific phone number that is a local number for that particular county.
@ Kane:
You are correct, changing phone number is not a good option since it would require changing tons of listing across the web in order to get our places page ranking well again, possibly taking it out of serp for many months.
As for you comment regarding javascript solution, did you mean it for one "universal" landing pages that adjust depending on the visitor origin? We use separate unique landing pages for different towns and they have a static phone numbers assigned to them.
I am looking for something that would allow me to optimize my site for higher conversions, preferably tied up to our GA data. Since we have calls for action along with phone number on every single page, a lot of calling people never make it to "Contact us" page. So I cannot use "Visit to Contact us page" goal as a reliable tracking factor.

Changing the phone number across the site is going to cause issues with local citations which are going to be essential for a plumber, so this probably won't be the best solution for call tracking. Typically local business call tracking should be done using javascript-based tracking solutions that dynamically change the phone number based upon the source of the visit.

What I would do is get a phone number from Google Voice and put that on the website. You can then track the logs on that specific phone number. You mention you have six phone numbers, why? Alternatively you can create a landing page with a Google Voice number and use it for your PPC and social media campaigns.

Photos or Video Best for Landing Pages?
My real estate brokerage firm is promoting a listing via advertising on LinkedIn. The advertising links to a landing page: http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/MidtownLawOfficeSublet3300SFBelowMarket Rather than photos, the landing page has a 1 minute video. So far we have had about 10 visits to the page. Visitors leave the landing page after a few seconds. So they are not looking at the video. Would it be better to replace the video with photos? Or is engagement generally better with video? My thinking is that business owners may not have the patience or the time for a video and they would more likely have the time and willingness to click on photos. I would be willing to test this further, but at $5/click it could get costly! Any thoughts?

Site Redesign Leads Dropped
One of my clients recently had his site redesigned. He wanted to change the design completely, I did offer advice on aspects relating to the redesign, I think its fair to say that he didn't follow all of my advice. PPC still running as usual and rankings still OK but the leads have gone down. Most of the leads come via the phone. I have suggested a number of ways to establish what has gone wrong including surveying his existing customers, comparing old and new designs etc...The client isn't keen on these methods. I'm hoping someone has some direct experience and can offer some direction as to how best to proceed? Justin

Tracking homepage visits
Hi Mozzers, I run a website that has some buttons on the homepage. These URL's are not unique as they are accessible from the nav bar at the top of the page. I want to see the conversion rate of the homepage buttons. Is this possible? I currently use Crazy Egg to see how many people are clicking on the buttons but I want more information as I'm sure whether they are converting. Thanks, Karl

Goal Tracking in Google Analytics
Hi guys, I just want to ask if you have videos or blogs about setting up goal tracking using conversion page or a "thank you page" in Google Analytics. This will help me to get how many inquiries (from contact form) I am getting and for me to know where they came from using Google Analytics (countries, source/site they used, time on site, category page and landing page, etc.). #2 question - In case I don't have a "thank you" page, is it possible for me to get these "goals"? Do I need to insert a code in each of the "send" button in my contact form? Looking forward for a positive response from you guys. 🙂 Thanks, JC

Tracking Adwords Conversions for eCommerce ROI
I'm working with a rather large eCommerce customer who needs to be able to track their Adwords conversions for the purpose of determining the ROI of their Adwords campaigns. I've installed code from Google Adwords Conversions on their eCommerce page, but it doesn't seem to be calculating values correctly. Also, where would setting goals in Analytics come in to play if I'm trying to track the conversions of specific Adwords conversions?
